CAPCOM'S FINAL FIGHT AND MAGIC SWORD
MAKE A TRIUMPHANT DIGITAL RETURN IN 2010
Classic Arcade Brawlers Downloadable Next year In a Dynamic Double Pack

Capcom® Entertainment, a leading worldwide developer and
publisher of video games, today announced that Final Fight™: Double Impact will
be coming to PlayStation®Store and Xbox LIVE® online entertainment network in
April 2010. This digital release will house not one, but two awesome Capcom
classics – Final Fight™ and Magic Sword.

Final Fight: Double Impact is a dual release of two classic
arcade side-scrolling beat-em-ups. First up is Final Fight, where players follow
the heart-pounding adventures of Cody, Guy, and Haggar – three heroes fighting
their way across crime-ridden Metro City in hopes of saving Haggar’s daughter
from the evil clutches of Mad Gear. There are 6 stages filled with perilous
challenges where the only hope for justice is the unique fighting techniques
mastered by each character. With the news released today that Cody and Guy will
both be playable characters in Super Street Fighter® IV, Capcom fans now have
the chance to take a trip down memory lane and experience these characters in
their first appearance before playing them in the new Street Fighter® game.

In Magic Sword, users will take on the role of the “The Brave
One,” a fierce warrior who bears the daunting responsibility of cleansing evil
forces from an ancient tower. As a consequence of his actions, he will
inevitably meet the source of this scourge upon humanity – the dark lord Drokmar.
But fear not as the hero is accompanied by eight allies who will lend their
assistance through out the game. All of them bring specific skills and talents
to contribute to the fight. It’s an amazing side-scrolling action illustrated in
classic fantasy stylings, making a perfect pairing with Final Fight.

Final Fight: Double Impact will make the classics look better
than ever by utilizing Capcom’s proprietary graphics engine to make the games
shine in crisp and clear HD glory. Alternatively, purist pixel junkies can
toggle back to a classic and arcade cabinet modes to render the game in its
original form. Complementing the new visuals is new selectable soundtrack
adapted by the highly acclaimed composers responsible for Bionic Commando®:
Rearmed.

The multiplayer features will allow gamers to relive these
classics with friends online. “GGPO” network technology creates a frame-accurate
arcade experience across the internet with online voice chat and the ability to
join games in progress. Thanks to the innovative open invite system, other
fighters can jump right in and contribute some classic butt-kicking to the
cause. Leader boards for both games track scores to compete and compare for
bragging rights. And finally, the Vault system will allow users to get extra
gameplay out of the game by unlocking new content from both the original
developers and fan artists.
